Raglan’s
renowned Soundsplash
Festival is set to return in 2019, with some exciting
changes afoot and an epic line-up to be revealed in the coming weeks.
The boutique
multi-genre event will be held in the picturesque Wainui Reserve,
right on Raglan’s
internationally famed coastline, on January
18, 19 and 20.
The 2019 festival is
gearing up to be one of next summer’s ‘bucket list’ events and also sees the expansion of the Soundsplash family,
with promoters Pato
Entertainment and Audiology coming on board, alongside
the event’s long-time organisers, Brian
Ruawai and Naomi
Tuao.
With a lengthy
14-year history, Soundsplash is
one of New Zealand’s pioneer summer music festivals. Over the years it’s played
host to acts such as
Six60,
Drax Project,
Shapeshifter,
Teeks, Ocean Alley, Sticky Fingers and
The Black Seeds.
Pato
Alvarez (Pato Entertainment)
and Mitch Lowe (Audiology) are proud to
be involved in such an iconic event.
“We are stoked to
announce the partnership with Brian and Naomi,” says Pato Alvarez. “They have
some really cool things in place which give Soundsplash a nice
vibe and energy. And we love that they’ve initiated a Zero Waste Policy.”
Pato and Mitch are
now are involved with nine Kiwi festivals, including Bay Dreams North Island, Bay Dreams
South Island, One
Love, Storm The Gates, Soundsplash, Sonorous, Ohakune Mardi Gras, and
two more to be announced soon. They also run another 200+ events
throughout New Zealand every year.
They are looking
forward to working alongside Brian and Naomi to continue to uphold Soundsplash’s impeccable
reputation and to introduce some of their own
touches, including even bigger production and a focus on families of all-ages,
with R18 licensed areas.
